Weekend

2007-10-22T10:37:35Z

It was a rather busy weekend, and I'm glad it's over. I'm almost looking forward to going back to work.

I'm really not in a good mood this morning... I know why but I rather not talk about it...

Well I just have one more form to learn in the tai chi system at the kwoon, then a life time to perfect it. As it stands right now I'm taking a step back and working on all the forms I know. I feel like they need a lot of work like there is something missing, but I haven't figured out what...

Halo 3

2007-09-26T15:33:36Z

Guess who beat Halo 3 last night?

meh!

2007-09-07T01:57:20Z

I'm getting into a depressed mood. Friends are running a bit thin, and it seems that all I have is Tai Chi, my games and books. I guess I should be happy with just that...

yup

2007-08-01T10:35:14Z

My god work is super busy as of late. I can't seem to get caught up, but at least I get over time.

I picked up Hot Fuzz and 300 yesterday. I can't wait to get home tonight so I can watch them.

For the people that left class last night. You guys missed a really good show. Sifu and I did more push hands. I swear it was me getting my butt kicked. I'm about half his age and I feel twice as old after that smack down. This morning I feel like I did about 500 push ups last night. I look forward to doing it again.

Funny stuff

2007-07-20T10:30:33Z

I remember I use to have a ferret like this. I can honestly see something like this happening.

Return from the Dark

2007-07-16T12:24:20Z

I swear the weekends are getting shorter. So short that I don't really notice them. But this weekend there were a few fun things going on. Saturday I got to start running my own Tai Chi class at Sifu's school. I even managed to get a few students from the other classes to come to the class. Even though they thought they wouldn't like it, they tried it and now they love it! After I finished that class, Sifu and I worked on Chen form for a bit, trying to get me ready for testing next month. I now feel really comfortable on Chen.

After class Eli and I went out for a bit, we ended up buying Lego Star Wars II for the 360. I think we got a little to hooked on it. So much so we ended up beating the game Sunday afternoon.

Not much else really happened...

Non Stop

2007-06-25T13:13:20Z

It was a rather busy weekend. Friday I started my Star Wars Game. I think it went well, I have a lot more work to do on this game...

Saturday was my B-day party. Dinner was great, even though I think I ate to much Sushi. Sifu even made it to dinner, and brought me a nice gift of insents from india. After dinner we all went home for the party. Lots of video games and World of Warcraft CCG. My friend Anthony got me the WOW computer game. I really don't see what the big deal is with it. Don't get me wrong, it's a fun game just not that addicting.

Sunday Eli and I went over to Sifu's house for a Tai Chi party. Food and Kung fu fun :)

half awake

2007-06-19T12:48:02Z

Sweet! I only got about an hour of sleep last night... that gos great with the 2 hours I got the night before. It sucks to be tired and not be able to sleep.

No show

2007-06-18T12:32:19Z

Well I guess my demo didn't go as well as I hoped. The people that showed up were mostly just friends that have seen go through forms before and were there mostly for support. As of right now I do not have a class. It's sounding like I may not be teaching Wednesdays... I'm a bit disappointed. It kinda makes me want to second guess if I'm good enough, but in this case I know thats not what it is. No potential students really showed.

The only other thing going on is I turn 28 this week. 30 is looking a little to close. I'm really wondering where the last 28 years went...

Thanks

2007-06-14T10:31:12Z

Thanks to all the people that made it to my demo last night.

Long ago...

2007-06-11T13:57:30Z

Last Friday I got the new Star Wars Saga edition RP system. I'm so geeked about it. (I already know I'm a nerd) I already have plans going for my campaign too. I plan to run it during the Legacy Era. 125 years after Return of the Jedi. Since the sith have come to power once again, I already have many ideas on bad guys... I'm wanting to keep the group at about 4-5 players.

In other news... I have a Tai Chi demo this week. I wouldn't say I have the demo that planed, but I will do my best. This demo will help me attract students to my new class. I really hope this gos well. I'm very nervous about having my own class...

Sifu Knows Best

2007-06-04T18:16:34Z

My Sifu has advised that I start teaching at the school as well as outside. I got an offer from a nice school on the other side of town called Seva Yoga. So next week Wednesday I have a demo to attract students. I think Sifu has more confidence in me than I do. Other than that I started to study Yang Spear Form. It's really hard to learn since my Sifu doesn't teach it, but Sifu is still able to help me with it. So far I really like it, and I think I really want to focus mostly on Yang Styles. Don't get me wrong, I like Palm and Chen Form but Yang Style feels the most natural to me. I guess there is nothing wrong with having a favorite style. I only have one more form to learn at the school now and thats Chen Sword.

My list of forms now are... Yang, Yang Sword, Yang Fan, Palm (tai chi mantis), and Chen.

Working on... Yang Spear, and soon Chen Sword.

Alone

2007-05-03T18:06:10Z

From childhood's hour I have not been
As others were — I have not seen
As others saw — I could not bring
My passions from a common spring —
From the same source I have not taken
My sorrow — I could not awaken
My heart to joy at the same tone —
And all I lov'd — I lov'd alone —
Then — in my childhood — in the dawn
Of a most stormy life — was drawn
From ev'ry depth of good and ill
The mystery which binds me still —
From the torrent, or the fountain —
From the red cliff of the mountain —
From the sun that 'round me roll'd
In its autumn tint of gold —
From the lightning in the sky
As it pass'd me flying by —
From the thunder, and the storm —
And the cloud that took the form
(When the rest of Heaven was blue)
Of a demon in my view —

By, Edgar Allen Poe

I hate the long wait

2007-04-20T16:18:27Z

Well I was able to finish the entire test last night. I wasn't happy with my performance, I know I could have done a lot better. Funny thing is I did the worst on my best form... I really think my nerves had something to do with that. I should find out tuesday if I passed or not.

Way of the Open Palm...

2007-04-19T12:54:35Z

Well today is the day. I have trained really hard and now it's time to see how well I've done. The Instructor test starts around 7 tonight, and could last a few hours. Last night it was rather hard to sleep. I'm like a little kid the night before Christmas. I'm trying to keep a positive mind about it. I keep telling myself if I fail there will always be next year, and at least I will know what I have to fix. If I pass... I have no idea what I would do. I think I would have to throw a party and order in a lot of food from Wei Wei.

in the good news

2007-04-18T21:59:20Z

I got an email from Calvin collage today, and they would like to talk with me... They want me to possibly teach a Tai Chi class next year. I need to meet with them once this school year is done. I'm not going to hold my breath, but you never know.

Messed

2007-04-12T16:32:49Z

I'm having that overly stressed feeling yet again. I really think it is every thing that has me stressed, not just work. It's got me to the point where I just want to lock myself away. Not to mention I'm starting to relate to the thought process of Sepheroth and the main villain in my Exalted game. Even my weekends are getting stressful. I have no escape...

And yes... I do now have a My Space account.

May 19th part 3

2007-04-11T10:07:00Z

I just found out last night that the instructor test is not May 19th.... It is now April 19th. So all that time I thought I had is gone. Looks like it is time to kick up the training...

"Entering with out permission may result in Kidney failure, liver damage, brain damage, broken bones, forced bowel movements, or heart explosion. Some times all symptoms may occur."
